I know for me, I don't want to be dogmatic. I have dealt with the stigma of being an out-of-church Christian and always felt uncomfortable with the dogmatic approach that faithful Sunday meeting attenders took toward me, communicating that I should be doing what they are doing, or else I'm not really following Jesus and I'm not a real Christian (because of the way they read/interpret the scriptures). <BR/><BR/>Of course it doesn't matter to me what other people think about the way I am following Christ. But I don't want to be presumptuous towards them in return. I don't want to be dogmatic and make others feel like the way they are following Him isn't credible, or isn't right (because of the way I read/interpret the scriptures). I think there is room for all of us... and it can look different for different people. I'm right there with you and identify with this post.

It reminded me that love, graciousness, humility, etc are a whole lot more important than being "right."Watchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074753807595569032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-38846846963600435032008-01-14T09:26:00.000-05:002008-01-14T09:26:00.000-05:00Walking by faith and not by sight means just that....Walking by faith and not by sight means just that. It is very interesting to me that I like to walk by sight but just say I am walking by faith.
